Dishwasher drawers: I run regular DW about 2x per day every day for our family of 4 that wash dishes for 3 meals per day. (we take our lunch every day, packed with washable containers, not disposable bags.) I put just about everything in the DW. So for me, being able to put tall and large items are essential. Dish drawer would limit that for me, which was confirmed by a friend that redid their kitchen and put in dish drawers. They (just the 2 of them, and meals not always prepared at home) run the dish drawer once every other day or so, so not being able to put large things is not an issue for them. People that do not run their DW daily tend to wash large things (cutting boards, frying pan, pots etc) by hand so that it is available for use for the next meal. I think you need to look at how you use the appliances. For example, our DW load will often have 2 to 3 cutting boards, 1 to 3 pots/pans, many cooking utensils etc in it as well as dishes, cups and glasses. Not only that, each dish drawer works independent of the other unit. So the complexity of the equipment is double. I prefer the standard DW. Whem my kids are grown and gone and it's just the 2 of us rattling in the house, it may be a good solution for us so we can run the dish drawer more frequently rather than waiting for the DW to fill. Not only that we would be older with old folk backs, and not bending may be nice.

Yes, I wanted more counterspace and have two sets of drawers--ULine. I also have a beverage refrigerator in a pantry-cleanup area near the dining room. And, a cheap upright in a utility room which I turn on if I have frozen food, or if I have a party where I need platter space. I am living alone in my house, but have a big extended network of friends who expect me to cook a lot. After two years, the only thing I would change is to make sure one of the units was a fridge/freezer, so that I wouldn't need to use the upright except for rare occasions. This works very, very well for me, and although these units are idiosyncratic (one must be vigilant about closing them, because they will frost over) I like them very much. They place the food you need to cook right at your fingertips--the mayonnaise jar, the butter, the mustard and so on. Saves many, many steps. Lilke guadalupe, I find I use frozen food much less than years ago.

Thanks everyone. I am going with anitamo's suggestion of using precut cardboard. Actually I could not find large sheets of cardboard to purchase and did not want to use random cardboard boxes laying around the garage (I have 15 drawers to line so want everything to be uniform using identical materials)...so I bought 4 large sturdy white posterboards from the local office supply store. I am going to cut them to fit the bottom of the drawers and simply wrap the wallpaper around the cardboard pieces and tape on the underside. My wallpaper IS pre-pasted. I definitely don't want any residue or paste to rub off on these brand new bathroom cabinets :) There will not be any clothing or linens going in these cabinets...it will be toiletries most likely stored in clear plastic/acrylic containers within the drawers. I just thought the wallpaper pattern would look pretty on the bottom of the drawers as well as protect them from spills, dust, etc. This post was edited by nutmegxo on Mon, Mar 11, 13 at 16:59

malhgold basically wrote it for me. We've a 30" fridge column (and a separate 30" freezer column) plus some 24" fridge drawers (they also come wider, of course). Listen, they are super-handy for us in terms of keeping children's snacks / drinks and my husband's beer, and I love the glossy images SubZero promotes of doing away with a traditional fridge and having drawers placed hither and yon .... Having said that, I don't think I'd want to have them as my sole cold storage. I'd have to plop stuff on top of stuff, and cross_stitch is right (for me): all those deep bends might get real old, real fast. And, I'd have to have a whole lot of them, and that cost would get real big, real fast. But so they wouldn't be right for me, but I can see how they could be ideal for someone who'd rather have scads of countertop with less storage underneath. Or, someone who goes to the market every day or other day -- then they wouldn't need to store lots of things.
